Aldo Rebelo on the agenda in RS Sergio Gonzalez/Disclosure Expelled and later reinstated to the Christian Democracy (DC) party, Aldo Rebelo continues to claim to be a pre-candidate for President. He held a schedule in Porto Alegre this Wednesday (15) and stated that the decision on choosing the party for the name that will go to the polls in October is before the courts. Rebelo was temporarily removed after publicly questioning the party's decision to change his name to that of former Federal Supreme Court (STF) minister Joaquim Barbosa in the presidential race. In June, the Federal District Court suspended the summary expulsion. ? Access the g1 RS channel on WhatsApp "The situation is judicialized. I was invited to be a pre-candidate and, later, the party president (João Caldas) invited minister Joaquim Barbosa thinking that my performance was a weak performance in the polls. And in fact it was, but like everyone else. There is a poll today, Joaquim Barbosa appears there with 1%. The others with 2%, 3%. In other words, the election is polarized." ? Quaest survey released this Wednesday (15) shows President Lula (PT) with 40% of voting intentions in the first round of the presidential election. Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) has 28%. DC decides to expel Aldo Rebelo from the party Rebelo states that he intends for the definition of the future DC candidate for the Palácio do Planalto to be carried out only at the party convention, which does not yet have a date to take place, but which must necessarily be held between July 20th and August 5th. "In court, I won the right to go to the convention and I continue to do my pre-campaign. I went to Amapá, the interior of São Paulo, Pará, Rondônia, Acre, Amapá, Roraima and today I am here", declared Rebelo. He also questioned Joaquim Barbosa's willingness to be a candidate. The retired minister was a member of the Supreme Court between 2003 and 2014. In 2018, he was listed as one of the names in the presidential race, but ended up withdrawing. "He (DC president, João Caldas) invited Joaquim Barbosa, who has not confirmed it until today. On the contrary, it is in the news that he would have given up," he stated. The politician also criticized the polarization: "It's unacceptable. It's political interdiction. It's an artificial division between left and right," he said. Rebelo was in Rio Grande do Sul to be the speaker at the Tá Na Mesa event, promoted by the Federation of Business Entities of Rio Grande do Sul (Federasul). VIDEOS: Everything about RS
